with tho Phils, and Including yesterday's gamo ho has won 1S5 contests and lost
ighty-soven. Ho has an average of more than twenty-six wins per season mid a
traction over twclvo defeats.
Thus far he Is running truo to his average, but as the Phils hao twenty
four remaining games Alex almost Is assured of working In one-fourth of tho
iventy-four. If ho wins flvo out of six it will inaKo ms rccora imriy mm nm-
teen reverses. Tho Phils now seem to hao nothing at siaKc. oiuy raoim i"-w.
and If tho fight grows warm for that position, Moran may call upon the star
twirler to work overtime to savo tho Quakers. The Phils now arc nino complete
box scores In the rear of tho Ulants. Tho Moruns lost their chaneo in tho big
cries In Now York last week when tho best they could get was two out of six.

THn Phils havo played nothing uut uouuic-ncauers in men uuiw ...
playing days and yet havo failed to mako a clean-up on any one day.
Last Wednesday they dropped both to the Giants mid since that time hao
engaged in four more, breaking even on every occasion. Again today they
play a pair against tho Braves, and with a crippled team Moran should be
s content to mako It live straight "breaks."
Another Great Athlete Puts Away Spikes
"& rriHE recent National A. A. U. championship games, held in St. I.ouls, mm ked
! JL thn nasslnir of one of the world's greatest middle-distance performers from
t active competition, James 13. (Ted) Meredith, who bald good-by to the cinder path
that ho might devote moro time to ins new woik uiai ui uu muwi m mu uunnf
ment service. Now conies the report from tho coast that t'red Kelly, another hero
Of the 1912 Olympic games, Is through with athletics. Disappointed by his failure
to "coma back" in tho meet at St. Louis, ho has decided to say farewell to tho
track. He also has entered tho aviation service and soon expects to bo sent to tho
Berkeley aeronautical school. Kelly said he was anxious to learn tho Hying game
and then chaso tho. German Taubo "somewhere in Kraucc."
Kelly is one of the most famous athletes turned out by the University of
' Southern California. At the time he was performing so sensationally, Howard Drew,
noted colored sprinter, was a student at the same college, and tho pair made a. tri
umphant tour through tho East a few years ago, making a clean-up in the special
ents In tho Pcnn relays. In his day Kelly probably was tho most consistent
r hurdler in the annals of the track. Ho was good for llftccn seconds in the 120-yard
high hurdles on any occasion, and often was timed lit H 2-5 seconds. Kelly started
to slide in 1911. Earl Thomson was the llrst to take his measure, and then along
camo Bob Simpson, who has shattered all previous records In tho timber-topping
tvent.
KELLY is through with the track, but ho Is Just as anxious to make
a record in his new profession as ho did as a hurdler. He hopes
to capturo enough prizes to mako htm an "ace," as they call those aviators
who bring down five German war planes.
New Baseball Managers Making Good
ANEW ci op of managers Is striking hard at tho records of tho old school In
baseball. Youngsters In cxpc.-lence. they aro wrecking the order of things by
(rasping the game In their hands and threatening to run it light Into a perhonally
conducted world's series beforo many moro moons. Lee Fold and Jack Barry, two
American Leaguers, aro babies as leaders of baseball clubs, yot this year they havo
Jammed things around in such an exciting fashion that it lias taken an awful lot
of effort to convince them that they hacn't any right to run uway with a pennant.
In fact, Barry has proved so obstinate along these lines that ho hasn't yet been
convinced and has a chaneo to win his argument. Barry's caso Is hardly ns re
markable as Tolil's, for Barry has ulways been considered ono of tho game's
smartest players, and has had experienco under the game's most astute and ttudious
manager. Fohl was Just a sort of helper for Joe Birmingham when Joo was having
his ups and downs in Cleveland. When ho took hold of tho Indians It was generally
Deilovca nis posiwuii um n;,,,w..j .... ... .v,,..i ,v laiut no wouia sur

kv nt i.en fooled tho gang. Ho trotted right into tho raco his first year out: mmin
y hi team Dlay baseball, and was considered a terrible obstaclo last bummer. This
e&'year Leo again started It, and, while few critics gave him a chance for tho pennant,
.MlLea himself believed he would havo something to say about the disposition ot tho
annual flag, ana he came mlgnty near getting ma wisn. l-oiu won't be ready to win
a pennant next year with his present array of sturs, but there's no telling what ho
111 doo Improve his icam. He's a builder and Is likely to win any tlmo ho gets
the right start.

Miss Ujur.stctlt Surprises,
Th Norte champion furnished a surprise
for tho Kallciy at tho Geimantown Cricket
Club, where tho last matches wcro played
jesterday. when she defeated Miss lirowno
in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1, after sufferlnc
seven coiisccut!o defeats at the hands of
tho C.il!(or"U Blrl. It was the twenty
fifth match between tho two this season and
only tho ninth triumph for Miss Bjurstedt.
Ono might ImaRlno that this continual feud
on the courts would break bonds of friend
ship between tho two girls, but If any
thing It has brought tho two closer together,
f( r off tho courts they aro Insepcrablo
chums,
MUh Bjur.stedt was right at tho top of
her ganiu estcrda. It waa a complete
reversal of form lrom lur play in tlio
mixed douhles at tho Huntingdon Valley
Club on Sunday. Theie was no fluke about
tho victory. Miss lirowno played her usual
Mi our and skillful game, but tlio Nor
(eglau was better In all departments. The
fact that the gill finm tho other stdo of
tho KocMes tallied only llftccn points to
twenty-eight In tho flr.it sit shows the wldo
gulf that was between their caliber of
Play.
Garland a Comer
Charles S. Garland, of Pittsburgh, the
national Junior champion, defeated a former
Junior champion when he handed two-set
trimming to Harold H Throckmorton, of
KlUabcth. Garland piocd that ho was
ono of the comers among tho younger set.
His placing was remarkable and his Judg

canny. Tho scores ot tho match were
6-1, C-2.
Tlio doubles match, in which Frederick
H. Alexander, of New York, and John It,
Strachan, of California, defeated Sergeant
Wallace V. Johnson, of this city, and
Howard S. Voshell, of Brooklyn, 6-t, 8-6,
also produced thrills a-plenty. Tho fre
quent rallies In which all four players
would come to the net and exchange at least
ten strokes before the point was awarded
brought rounds of applause from the lars

o.MH tlmo ago a man from tho wild and
woolly West biected Into town and
called a Philadelphia friend on tho phone
and suggested that ho would llko to play
golf, so tho two of them hustled out to the
links In a motorcar. Whllo they were
1 dressing for tho fray tho westerner, who"
plays on ono of tho numerous couiscs around
Chicago none of which In nearer than
twenty or thirty miles from tho center
of the rlty, vvlieie it costs from $ln0 up to
J 100U to Join and tho annual dues nra rarely
less than ?100 nnd frequently ?2ih', where
they have luncheon cars on tho tialn.s for
the golfers, talked about his golf.
"There Is no reason," ho said, "why any
mini of ordinary Intelligence, after two
eari of golf, should not play around ids
course in the seventies I rarely go over
that figure, nnd I do not cato how hard
tlio coiuso is J inn play it on any day In
tlio ilghtles without playing all the shots
In my bag J notice that ou havo a nine
hole course, and 1 think I can demonstrate
to our satisfaction that what 1 am Faying
is nor not air, but the plain, unvarnished
truth "
The Hct That Cost Uim $110
o the western man who hated hlmelf
and the man who was his host and who
v.iiH either ton polite to my mo thing or
was too vise tn say anv. thing set foith and
after the clubs In the man's hand had cooled
off a little bit they sat down to lunch, and
the man who hated himself found that he
had inllected the neat Finn of fifty-one
stml.es. Hut he mil his nllbl right there
and ho proceeded to tell his host how easy
It was going in bo that afternoon. Kvldentlv
he thought the tlmo was rlpo for n few
bets, so ho remaiked during ono of tho
bleathlng spells that he was willing to
wager that for every stroke over fort-tlvc-he
would pay $1, provided tho other man
wou'd give him .1 dollar for every slroko
he was under that number,
Thcro was 11 wild rush to get thn bet, but
a quiet chap with football build tore
through tho interference and landed the
bet. Incidentally, other membirs of the
chili, seeing tho fat money lying at omul
loo"o and ftatlng somo ono else would get
It .ivwiy from him while ho was not looking,
took I1I111 up nn other bets, and these were
tlio bets suggested by the man who hated
himself.
There was not a single hole that tho
westerner got In par figutes He did not
land a bird. In fact, most of tho boles vvcte
made in (rows and somo were two or three
strokes moro than par. When tho dust
cleared away tho man who hated hlmelf
said nothing, but his motley did it for him
In a langudge they all understood. Ho paid
lip like .1 gentleman and tho quiet chap
got $110 and most of tlio others tenspots
and chicken feed like that.
They had a dinner party (eady for him
and a pleasant evening, but tho westerner
heard the call of the wild and said he had
to go back to the Windy Pity on a very
Important matter of business Altogether
ho loft about $200 of nice, clean Chicago
money. And it Is a safo wager that when
be comes to Philadelphia again ho will not
talk so much about how easy some ot cur
nine-hole couiscs arc.
Pine Valley Takes Out the Conceit
Perhaps tho easiest way to make a lltt'3
soft money Is to talk enthusiastically about
Pino Valley to somo ono who has never
seen tho course, and that is not a hard Job
if you have ever plaved at Pino Valley
"and appreciate first-class golf. The best man
to talk to Is tho type ot golfers who admlro
their own links handiwork, and thcro is
a very large and growing crop of them.
Justlead them on for a few minutes nnd
after they have warmed to the task thej
will tell ou a lot about their golf that is
surprising. Then is the tlmo to cprlnj
jour bet.
